Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
NCTA Statement on Anti-Asian Racism and Violence
The USC U.S.-China Institute is part of the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia.
March 18, 2021
As attacks against Asians and Asian-Americans throughout the country increase, the National Consortium for Teaching About Asia (NCTA) stands in solidarity with and offers its support to all individuals and groups that are being subject to violence and hate-crimes. As an organization dedicated to the teaching and learning about East Asia in elementary and secondary schools nationwide, NCTA strives to develop global citizenship based on the principles of cross-cultural understanding, equality, and justice.
We therefore speak out forcefully and unequivocally against the increase in prejudice, discrimination and institutionalized racism in the United States. Violence and hate crimes against others are in direct contradiction to developing an inclusive, democratic society and keeping the U.S. viable both economically and culturally. Every act of violence, every hate-crime, every case of discrimination threatens not only those against whom it is committed, it threatens all of us. The NCTA therefore stands in support of the efforts to provide support, protection and advocacy to those who are being discriminated against.
Established in 1998, the NCTA has long worked to assist K-12 educators to incorporate East Asia into the curriculum, with the goal of developing American citizens who are informed and knowledgeable about other areas of the world and their own place in the broader world.
